DisplayLink package version 4.4.24 with Slackware64-current (kernel version 4.19.8) shows screen with lines of different colors and second monitor does not work with x-org-server packages on 1.20.3 (xorg-server,​ x-org-server-xephyr,​ xorg-server-xnext and xorg-server-xvfb)

+

The package downloaded from DisplayLink did not install this time. I had to repackage the packages using the ones from SBo and evdi packages for 1.5.1:

+

+

with a small modification for the displaylink.SlackBuild

+

+

Downgrading all x-org-server packages to 1.19.6 did not work at first. ​ A workaround was to create a script to enable HDMI (without any HDMI monitor plugged in) and then enabling the two monitors, which then worked flawlessly

I tried both of them, and rebooted after each change. ​ The one mentioning intel required to be Intel (capital I). None of them yielded positive results. ​ In each case, once trying to activate the screen using xrandr I was logged out and kicked back to the gdm login screen

+

The docking station I use is this one: https://​www.amazon.com/​Lenovo-ThinkPad-Docking-Station-0A33970/​dp/​B008ABKADI

+

+

It uses the DisplayLink chipset. ​ I have one at work. At home I use a regular HDMI cable and an external monitor, which work, even with xorg-server 1.20.0

Akileo, that page you link to contains two workarounds that //do not// require downgrading xorg-server. Have you tried them? What was the result? \\ --- //​[[wiki:​user:​alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2018/07/05 17:55 (UTC)//
